Off the back of his decision loss overnight to Jake Paul, boxing icon, Mike Tyson has revealed he nearly died before his planned pairing with Paul earlier this summer — in which he withdrew from a June clash due to a health issue.
Tyson, who snapped a 19-year retirement from professional boxing overnight, suffering a unanimous decision loss to Ohio native, Paul in their eight round grudge match, with the Brooklyn native fighting in the squared circle at 58 years of age.
Failing to ever get going against Paul despite a few notable counter strikes, the veteran Tyson would drop a one-sided unanimous judging loss to the now-11-1 professional boxer, suffering his third consecutive defeat since his 2006 stoppage loss to Kevin McBride in Washington.
